market. The similarity is quite striking.
Much OF the pulque after reaching its des-
tination is delivered to customers in these
skins, which are to be seen around the doors
or hung up inside of the pulque shops at all
times. Hotels receive their supplies in this
form, and one of the first surprises to an
American is when he starts out for a morn
ing stroll soon after his arrival in the City of
Mexico, and meets in the main entrance of
his hotel peon coming in with the distend-
ed skin containing the days pulque for the
house. Very likely the peon will have one
leg over his shoulder, with the back of the
skin to his back and the other three legs
sticking out in as many directions. The
American will take two looks, express his
disgust more or less forcibly and forswear
pulque. But afterwards, in the heat of the
day, perhaps he will be persuaded to take q
few swallows. Then he will go on increasing
the dose until in couple of weeks he will
look with equanimity upon the dirty skins
and confidently assure later arrival from
the States that there is nothing so good for
the kidneys as "chateau maguey."
Skins almost universally used in what
The quantities in bulk are shipped in great
hogsheads, half dozen of which make a
big carload. These casks go from the haci-
endas in the maguey country to the railroad
stations and thence by trains, which run on
passenger schedules to the City of Mexico

quently found than the beer saloons in the
States. Probably there is no exsggeration in
saying that every block in the City of Mexi-
co has at least one place where the beverage
/ is to be had. Putting pulque 'son tap is a
very simple process. An earthen jar stands
| in convenient place, and when the custo-
| mer says ''pulque' the tender takes a glass
| between finger and thumb, finger inside, and
dips out.
A favorite way of decorating the pulque
shop is by stringing cane leaves or long grass
on rope and festooning the entrance or
stretching the green fringe across the street

mExICO,s FAVORITE TIPPLE.
The Juice of the Maguey Plant and
How 1t Is Handled.
from an Iolo (Mexico) Letter

[Frem an Iolo (Mexico) letter.
At the age of five or six years hill of
maguey is quite formidable object. The
center leaves or spikes are considerably tall
er than man. A head is formed in the
center of the plant not very far from the
ground, and this is watched with as close at
tention as watermelon in August. just at
the right time the head is cut and lifted out
of the plant. It leaves a large cup-like
hole, and in that cavity the juice or sap of
the naguey collects. This is pulque. or will
be as soon as little fermentation sets in.
The collection Of the juice is work of
care. Every morning the experienced pulque
collectors start out with their burros and pig
skins or goat skins and their gourds. Each
has his portion of the field. He goes to a
plant, picks his way in between the long
leaves, and reaching down with the cup,
drains it of the juice which has gathered
since his last visit. There is a feature about
this part of the pulque business which one
who has witnessed it for the first time is
pretty sure to remember on the next ocea-
sion he raises goblet of the Mexican nectar
to his lips. The collector puts the end of
his long gourd down into the cup and draws
the contents by the principle of the air
pump. The gourd is the receiver; the ex-
haust is formed by the peons mouth and
lungs. In other words he slowly sucks the
juice into the gourd. The act is a curious
one, interesting to observe if not associated
with the thought of drinking the liquid.
Then the peon goes to the burro which is
browsing near by, but not upon maguey
leaves, and empties the gourd into the skins
which are slung upon the animals back.
These skins are great puzzle to strangers.

ly small compass, but it doesn't dry; it is al
ways ready for service.
The outside of the skin is not only sugges-
tive, but it is usually very dirty. Yet the
puique comes from it as clear and pure as
when it was drawn from the plant. Famil-

skin, and the use of the receptacle is not

Have you awakened from disturbed sleep with
all the horrible sensations of assassin cutching
your throat and pressing the life breath from your
frightened chest9 Have you noticed the languor and
debility that succeed the effort to clear your throat
and head of this catarrhal matter? What depress-
ing influence it exerts upon the mind, cloudng the
memory and filling the head with pains and strange
noises How difficult it rid the nasal passages,
throat and lungs of this poisonous mucus all can
testify who are afflicted with catarrh. How diff
ress towards the lungs liver and kidneys, all Physi
clans will admit. 1t is terrible disease and cries
out for relief and cure.
The remarkable curative powers. when all other
remedies utterly fail, of SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE,
are attested by thousands who gratefully recon.
mend it to fellow sufferers. No statement is made
regarding it that cannot be substantiated by the
most respectable and reliable references.

Perhaps the emigration of SO many Ital-
ians to this country has tended to better the
condition of those who have stayed at home.
At any rate writer in the Gazetta di Vene-
zia shows that the condition of labor is stead
lily improving in Italy by figures proving that
1853 hours of labor earned as much flour in
1885 as 1854 hours of labor earned in 1852.
The most rapid improvement has been made
since 1880.
At recent meeting of the Berlin Meteoro-
logical society DR.. Schultz spoke on the con-
trast between the popular names given to
ture as determined by means of Instruments.
Thus, for instance, the sirocco wind in Italy
is spoken of as ''heavy," whereas the barom-
eter indicates diminished pressure. Sum-
mers are spoken of as wet and dry, accord
ing as they are accompanied by much or little
rain, without taking into account the usually
opposed indications of the psychometers;
similarly our sensations of heat and cold are
often directly opposed to the indications OF
the thermometer. The speaker further
brought forward meteorological observations
which he had made in Rome and the Riviera,
and which showed occasionally, among
things, the anomaly that the temperature in
the shade was higher than in the sun, espe-
cially when the thermometer in the sun was
exposed to a strong wind.
Mayor Hewitt has done and said some
things since he became mayor which show
his good quality. For instance, in talking
about the raising of the national and mu-
nicipal flags on the city hall in honor of the
Queens Jubilee, he said: ordered that the
flags be raised in honor of Queen who mas
reigned over her people for fifty years, and {
